ZeroMatt Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I think he means that he stretched the springs, would make the pawls louder I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gr8grumble Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 i have done it to my king, its easy with a king because i has only 1 spring. its harder on a hope hub because they have small gay springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewis.jackson Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Why the hell would you want your hub louder?People only do that if they are proper noobs or want to be the center of attention but if that's you then go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Oh wow, its 2002 all over again.Don't do it, it'll destroy your hub, very, very easily, and is completely pointless.EDIT: Haha Ash, didn't see it was a Pro II. Oh my. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vee Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 haha my hubs loud anyway just thought id add more bang, plus according to a website if u do this and change the grease to a lightweight oil ur less likely to skip and stuf as it allows the pawls to jam harder and faster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janson Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 But the internals will wear out faster, and your springs are much more likely to snap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vee Posted January 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 But the internals will wear out faster, and your springs are much more likely to snap. yeh might just give the thing a dam good service and just use real light oilcould do with a clean out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26inch Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 The way you make it louder is to take all the thick grease out. Dont try and stretch the leaf springs it aint worth it and wont really make much difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al_Fel Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 I wouldn't bother messing about with the springs, I've never had a pro 2 but when I had a bulb I cleaned it out and put a tiny bit of grease in. I wouldn't worrie about it wearing out faster its not like trials bikes do 100's of miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy d Posted January 3, 2008 Report Share Posted January 3, 2008 Sounds like a silly game to me... I'd use the springs and lubrication that it was designed to be used with if you value your teeth and your expensive hub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mat Smith! Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 lol oh my god just take out all the oil and stretch the springs, just pull them so there a bit longer than they was before, be reet, its ur own fault if it goes weird though cos u was warned, but seriously how hard is it to do :\, new springs arnt hard to get either.Matx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be something to do with metal on metal + movement = ALOT of wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan6061 Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Take out all the grease that'll be in it from when you bought it, then clean all of the internals.Then just lighty grease the springs, and the tips of the pawls.That should make it louder, and will still keep it working properly.

Ben Jones Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 ive got damons wheel from his vid 3 and 4, red rim ect.loudest hub ever, he said he streched the springs, kept the lube the same ect..havnt touched it since, never skipped, ask anyone and they'll tell you its one of the loudest hub ever.having said that, sounds wicked for a few days but i'll be honest the novilty wears off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vee Posted January 4, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 WTF whys everyone being alll offensive about it all, i asked a simple question, and whoever it was who decided theyd have a rant about taking the grease out and metal on metal is a twat! no one said anything about taking all the grease out so its metal on metal, we were talking about replacing it with lighter oil, so read before u talk shit!thanks to people who have helped i have taken note, and to all those who have just had ago jsut dont even waste my time! i was wondering because iv read that it helps prevent skipping which in trials cant be a bad thingalthough iv only skipped once since i got it bout 8months ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, the person who was 'ranting' about taking the grease out and how this will wear the internals was replying to someone who did say to remove the grease in the hub.

Wet Banana Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 (edited) how do you stretch leaf springs?Bend them beyond their plastic deformation limit.The guy asked how to make it loud, the answer was given; open up the springs more and loose all grease. Stop the rant. Edited January 4, 2008 by Wet Banana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
